Hey Steve,

You may find 2 things happen if you get too close: a) you could be called out in the middle of the ceremony by the priest (embarrassing) and b) one of your couples may eventually find...

Wow - what a post and what a story! First of all, let me say that I totally feel awful for you right now. It must be a horrible feeling to be so low.

The best "trick" I would say is to make sure you leave NOTHING left to prepare on the actual day of the shoot. I make sure everything is out and ready including shirts ironed the day before. I've...

Great job, guys! Love the clarity and colors. Did you use ND filters to stop down the footage outside to get your shallow DOF? I agree that it's fairly straight-forward mixing colors between the...

Hi Luke,

I don't think you'll find that 25p "Twixtored" is ever as "good" as interlaced for slomo, simply because one is working with the original footage (50i) and the other one is digitally...
